Cognitive (Brain), Energy & Gland Support* (* As recommended by holistic veterinarians for use under a traditional medical system)
I AM A Rock Star! contains maca, which has has been recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a super food and a well-studied adaptogenic herb, used holistically for its natural plant chemical content that can help improve your pet's resistance to metabolic and oxidative stress, due in part, to its alkaloid and amino acid content which may help nutritionally support the endocrine system. Maca has been studied for its ability to help stimulate and nourish the hypothalamus and pituitary glands, which are the master glands in the animal body. The hypothalamus and pituitary glands regulate all other glands, including producing and maintaining hormones, which are required for every body system to operate properly. This process becomes more critical in cases of metabolic disorders such as Cushing's disease, Addison's disease and diabetes.

An adaptogen is a highly specialized plant that is naturally code with a read, repair and restore function. The maca plant works intrinsically and synergistically to help read and repair glandular, metabolic and oxidative dysfunction, but may also nutritionally help restore balance in the animal body. Reducing metabolic stress in our dogs and cats is important because it disrupts nutrient assimilation, undermines immunity and opens up susceptibility to metabolic diseases, including diabetes, Cushing's, Addison's and other metabolic conditions.
